(4) Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act,
the Secretary shall establish procedures for the collection and payment
of the fees established by paragraph (2) and paragraph (3). The
Secretary shall annually review the amount of the fees established by
paragraphs (2) and (3) above to evaluate whether collection of the fee
will provide sufficient revenues to offset the costs as defined in
subsection (d) herein. In the event the Secretary determines that either
insufficient or excess revenues are being collected, in order to recover
the costs incurred by the Federal Government that are specified in
subsection (d), the Secretary shall propose an adjustment to the fee to
insure full cost recovery. The Secretary shall immediately transmit this
proposal for such an adjustment to Congress. The adjusted fee proposed
by the Secretary shall be effective after a period of 90 days of
continuous session have elapsed following the receipt of such
transmittal unless during such 90-day period either House of Congress
adopts a resolution disapproving the Secretary's proposed adjustment in
accordance with the procedures set forth for congressional review of an
energy action under section 551 of the Energy Policy and Conservation
Act [42 U.S.C. 6421]. end segment .016 segment .017 -- expedited
